Together, we discussed policies that strengthen community health centers and protect the healthcare safety net, including:
❤️Strengthening the Community Health Center Fund
❤️Protecting the 340B Drug Discount Program
❤️Investing in the National Health Service Corps workforce pipeline
❤️Ensuring Medicaid stability and patient access to care
These priorities support our mission of improving the health and well-being of the communities we serve with access for all. And are appreciative of Congressman Vargas’ and Congresswoman Jacobs’ continued partnership in strengthening care for families across South County.
Today, we’re calling on our community to help us advocate for these priorities!
